What the heck?! It did get nuked. I hope that was by accident because if not, that's ridiculous.

Congrats to the hunter. I take it that 191" is his net score. Any word on his gross or individual measurements?

191 is huge ... But in this case is "only" based on the OP title of 200" and BTW I'm hearing 191 was the gross score.

Yeah, I'm blown away.  :yike: I never would have guessed his mass and main beams were what they are. Not that it matters on a deer that size, but still very interesting none the less.

It takes a lot to make 200.   He was an incredible deer.

 That confirms how incredible the g3's and g4's are. :tup:

Absolutely. It's not a number I throw around lightly either. Never actually. It's like claiming to have seen a unicorn. :chuckle:

It's really amazing to me how minute the differences he'd need to get another 9 inches. Truly an amazing animal.

This particular buck in this thread is dead. Truly an amazing deer on the hoof and the ground.

Same story, different day. Folks have seen pictures of the buck. If someone had the hunter's permission to post it, it would be posted. I appreciate the fact that they respect the hunter enough to not share the pictures without his permission.
